I assume there is no generic APM support for lid-close?
My BIOS (P100 DEC CTS5100 Hinote VP) has no way to do anything other
than beep, when the lid is closed, so I'm using a hack that polls the
ct65548 video chips registers to find when the BIOS turns the LCD off,
so I can do whatever.

Or is there a better wya?

Yes, going ACPI. But you'll need current acpi, not the one in 2.4.3

Is ACPI really likely to be in a Sep 95 laptop?

Isn't it usually mentioned in the BIOS?
